Sure, but this also seems bad for the small web. Imagine for example some small blog embeds a Youtube video into their static page - suddenly they are getting 100 euro fines all over the place.
Also this entire case overlooks the point that this user was tech aware enough that they knew their IP was getting sent to Google, was deeply upset by this, but didn't get an ad blocker? This feels like a contrived use of GDPR.
